Recovery/reset data on a phone with completely broken screen (black screen), but functional otherwise - OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers

Hi!
The screen of my Nord is broken (cracked and black screen), but still functional otherwise. I want to know how to recover some of the data that haven't been backed up or at least reset the device. I have to mention that the device is locked and has ADB activated.
Things I've tried:
- connecting USB-C hub with HDMI
- ADB
Any other ideas?

Are you able to run "adb devices" and see your phone when it's connected to your computer?

[Q] Broken screen, need to change fw and never enabled usb debug

Hi
my brother gave me his tf300t.
Here is the status
-the broken screen is a 8185n
-he never enabled the usb debug mode in the past
-he never connected to a pc
So I found a link that explain how to use screen vers G01 in place of a 8185n.
The starting point is a adb connection.
Anyway, since I cannot use the touch I don't know how to obtain result with "adb device" command.
I removed the drivers and reinstalled from scratch the android sdk together with adb.
But device is not listed.
I can only reboot the device. I tried to put in fastboot mode (volume down during reboot) but again adb doesn't recognize it.
How can I force the adb recognition to start the cwm installation etc etc ?
Thanks
Angelo

Have you tried connecting a USB mouse? Bit of a simple suggestion but could work. That's assuming the screen actually turns on

Recover Data Broken Screen

Hello all.
Unfortunately I dropped my phone last week which result in a broken screen (Glass got broken, as well as the lcd, black screen, touch works sometimes). Now I'm sitting here, trying to recover all my important data.
First guides you find on the internet are about some Backup Software for windows. Just connect your phone and youre ready to go.
(Almost, as you need to verify the connection or have to have adb/ usb debugging enabled, which I don't unfortunately.)
So those things about adb backup do not work aswell.
I do have a custom rom installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/update-to-marshmallow-t3399953.
Does this custom rom install a recovery? I tried booting into recovery like 100 times by pressing volume down as well as the power button. But without any optical feedback this is hard and I'm not 100% sure if it is even installed.
If not, wouldn't it be an option to install twrp or cwm? Is this possible without usb debugging enabled? I've managed to do this on samsung devices, even without adb through odin, while connecting the device in download mode. Is there something similar for LG?
I think if I get to manage to enable usb debugging it would work perfectly fine, I would be able to backup won't I?
Last thing I would try is buying an slim port to hdmi adapter, connect to pc and verify the connection to the backup software using an hdmi monitor. I think this would work, but maybe theres some way I overlooked which don't need me to buy this adapter.
Thanks for your Help,
Whitz
Unfortunately the Device won't show up when executing "adb devices".
Maybe because the device isnt unlocked at time of being?
The Device isnt recognized by the Computer either, so maybe the connection is unfortunately set on "Only Provide Power" or whatever this mode is called in english
Any further tips?

How to authorize USB debugging with a dead screen?

Hi,
I dropped my Pixel 1 too many times tonight, and the screen died. The phone is still functional, and I would like to be able to mirror it on my PC using Vysor, but for some reason, it seems to have lost the USB debugging rights, as adb devices shows "unauthorized".
Is there any way I can authorize USB debugging so that I can access my device via adb and mirror the screen?
Thanks.

Not sure, but doesn't the device automatically goes into Debugging Mode when entered into recovery mode? I think at least you can access the internal storage then. Not sure if it works, but you can give it a shot and report here.

Thanks for the reply. That might be my last resort. However, while I'm still able to unlock my device with my fingerprint, I'd like to exhaust all my options to gain remote access to my phone via a connected PC, if possible.
Once I reboot, without a working touchscreen, my options would be much more limited since I won't be able to unlock my device.

Cracked screen, is there anyway to get my files transferred?

Title. The charging etc still works but no display. But if I plug into pc, the default is charging, I can't select the transfer mode. ADB/developer mode is enabled
Phone is rooted. If there is any way to get to my photos/files I'd greatly appreciate any advice. Am planning to send phone for repair to Oneplus but they wipe data.
Try this if you have adb access.

Tried launching it. I'm 99% sure I enabled usb debugging and pretty sure I enabled adb. But I still get "device unauthorized" when I try to access the adb shell

Adb needs Authorization. You have to guess and click "Allow" if touch is working.
Adb works only if you have previously authorised the pc. If you have authorised some pc(even OS change matters) before, you can try using that.
Sadly our device doesn't support DisplayPort over type-c i.e. type -c to hdmi.
Do you have TWRP installed ? If yes, you can try boot into TWRP and connect your phone to your PC.

Do have TWRP but the screen doesn't even power on so I can't even see the screen when I boot into it... O well I had most of the stuff backed up rest will be an expensive lesson

Access broken phone via usb

Hello. I was wondering if you can access or mirror a phone with a failed LCD screen.
The screen has stopped working on my redmi note 8 but it vibrates turning on an off so hopefully it's still working. Can I plug it in with a usb cable to the laptop??
Thanks

You should need USB debugging enabled previously. Or in an unlocked device, installing a ROM that has it by default. Or in an unlocked device, modding the default properties within the boot image by unpacking/repacking it and then flashing it back.

If USB-Debug ( aka ADB ) got enabled on phone then it should be possible to access phone's Android filesystem by means of ADB even if its screen is failing.

There is more to USB debugging that just enabling ADB, your statement is a bit misleading.
What are the chances the screen has died? Do they die. I was thinking of replacing the screen as an easy test for the sake of £15.
